Description

2-Amino-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose Hydroiodide is a chemically modified derivative of D-glucose, where the 2-hydroxyl group is replaced by an amino group and the compound is stabilized as a hydroiodide salt. This modification makes it a valuable precursor and building block in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates, glycoconjugates, and bioactive molecules. It is primarily sought by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies for applications in glycoscience, medicinal chemistry, and biochemical research.

Application

• Glycobiology Research: A fundamental building block for the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, and glycolipids to study carbohydrate-protein interactions.
• Medicinal Chemistry: Used as a key intermediate in the development of glycosidase inhibitors, antiviral agents, and other therapeutics targeting carbohydrate-mediated processes.
• Biochemical Tool Development: Employed in the preparation of labeled sugars (e.g., fluorescent or radioactive tags) for metabolic pathway tracing and imaging studies.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral starting material for the synthesis of more complex, pharmaceutically active compounds.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Utilized in basic research to understand the role of amino sugars in biological systems and material science.
